Hey! Small correction, we'd not had chance to update the credits in the first build of the dynamic music. Armin Hass is responsible for the high and low intensity arrangements, Zach, genius as he is, has moved onto new pastures outside games industry, which while a loss to the world of game music is a win to that industry! Armin has taken Zach's work and added his own magic to the tracks to provide the dynamic elements.
Armin Haas, actually. Zach Beever wrote the original version and Armin took it and added adaptive styling to it. Zach went to do other music stuff by what I understand of Indie Stone's comment explaining he's not doing game music anymore.
You wanted to run away, but this song starts playing, so you say. Fuck it, I'm going in. With your trusted butter knife in hand you rush at hord pressing Q
I can just imagine a fucking horde/wave survival game and then when a hard wave arrives, some hillbilly with a banjo sitting on a haystack appears out of nowhere making the music
This song has already caused me so many deaths, I forget how flimsy my character is and attempt to fight to the bitter end, kinda removes the flight from fight or flight
I heard this song and you should see my base afterwards, I killed all of the zombies but I got bit twice and shot myself in a closet in the base, walking in with a fresh character it looked like a massacre happened, though I guess it did.
In my first serious playthrough I had to lead the helicopter horde away from my town by foot. By the end of the day I was running on vitamin fumes and a butter knife. I still can't believe I survived that as a newbie.
This is actually my favorite track in the game. It sounds so strangely heroic and hopeful in a game about being in a hopeless situation where death is inevitable.
it is because, despite inevitable death, your character still hopes. hopes to find another survivor, or if not that, at least for surviving until next day. perhaps, if he survives long enough, he can see humanity get back on its feet.
@@CodexQuinn yeah, the game says that to you, as a player. You know that noone will help you, as, you literally know the game has no ending other that dying. The music is essentially representing all the hope and emotions your character feels in the moment. The character you play as is a separate entity from the player. Only way you are connected is through your actions. However, you cannot feel each others feelings. When they get hurt or angry, only they can 'feel it' you only get a pop-up so you'll know. So they still have hope. They don't know that no help is coming. Assuming you as a player didn't have control over them, they would still keep fighting. And yes, this is a really confusing and meta concept, but it is what it is.
Death was always inevitable, since our day of birth (and perhaps even before). Death is a natural part of life, and it is our fate guaranteed for any and all. But how we die is defined by two factors, us and/or nature (disease, etc).
I was watching a PZ stream and the "high" version of this music kicked in seconds before a massive horde of zombies, sprinters included, started chasing the streamer. It was such a great foreshadowing.
oh yeah, the music kicks before the situation happens, I really love that, you can just be chilling and when the music starts to kick in, is for a reason
It was weird when this song played for the first time because the lyrics were a bit out of context, that wasn't the problem, the problem was that it was in Arabic specifically in the Egyptian dialect. To clarify, I am Egyptian. I played the game after watching two or three videos about it. It seemed like the perfect survival game: - realism ✔ - Too many details ✔ - Situation (In the real world I would have been able to do this ) - Non-existent ✔ But when this song played, I felt a strange feeling because it did not fit in with the situation , I do not mean the music, the sound track is epic, but the words were out of context and had no specific meaning. For anyone wondering hear what she is saying : نبع الحياة (fountain of life - or - source of life) نبع الحياة fountain of life نبع الحياة fountain of life ايه الثمن what is the (cost - or - price ) ايه الثمن what is the cost ايه الثمن what is the cost ايه الثمن يا زمن what is the cost , oh time (asking time itself ) يا زمن oh time يا زمن oh time نبع الحياة fountain of life نبع الحياة fountain of life نبع الحياة fountain of life . . . (repeat)
Just from this alone I like to think that the fountain of life refers to the rise of the undead. And they ask what they might have to sacrifice for a bit more time.
I guess you could consider the fountain of life as the virus and the cost of it is being immortal (aka time) and you spread the fountain of life to anyone else that is willing to listen/willing to give in/is naive enough to "drink the fountain of life"
Fountain of life: Survivor- Survivors (player-npcs) What is the cost: The fight against the undead, your characters dying, the horror, the struggle. The cost on time: High stake and dangerous objectives to achieve something meaningful. Fountain of life: Life continues after death. You can keep fighting with another survivor. PZ greatness xD.
You will die. It says when you first start the game. Whether you are ready or not does not matter. This is not a survival game. It is a game that teaches you how to enjoy your inevitable death. LOL
This is THE Project Zomboid theme, imo. It perfectly encapsulates the struggle, the pain, the difficulty you'll face -- but, above all else, the determination to continue, to carry on in spite of that opening title saying that there's no chance of survival. There _is_ hope, despite how it may seem -- there _is_ a fighting chance, despite how hopelessly outnumbered you might be -- for it is human nature to prevail against all odds, to stand up in spite of adversity, spit out the blood in your mouth, and mutter to yourself that _"maybe we can win this."_
I love that. Not only that, I really sometimes wanna see other people's experiences in game, One time that me and my friend were at muldraugh driving through to find some supplies (Went to Rosewood for the guns we only had a few shotgun rounds, No shotty unfortunately, and two pistols with decent amount of ammo for the both of us.) Then we encountered multiple forces, we had to kill each of em, luckily found one of the bodies being a shotgun, i picked it up and it only had 5 rounds, i had to made it count, at the end we managed to pull it through.
Today Erika Bunch, my character, died. After getting infected, she e decided to fight back, and with her last strength and her shotgun she killed 80 zombies, until the ammunition ran out. So, she just bided her time. This music played during their confrontation, while dozens of zombies poured out from all sides. It has been more exciting than watching a movie. What a game, I love it.
It's always so fun to give your characters one last stand after they get bit - If they're gonna die, might as well take out as many of the undead freaks as they can before they go.
Reminds me of when I first fought the horde with about 90 shotgun shells and a J-2000 Shotgun. There was no other choice; the only other weapon I had was a hand axe and a baseball bat at about 50% durability. So I trained my aiming skill the hard way: Fighting through hundreds of them near a military surplus store while my friend looted it. Thank god I had beta blockers otherwise I would've been screwed. I also realize how brutally realistic the game was as well; you better count your ammo otherwise you might pull the trigger on a Zed but nothing comes out. When the smoke cleared there was so many bodies. I was almost at a disbelief that I had actually managed to kill that many.
Me n some friends boarded up an area and claimed some houses as our own, rolling in with a truck with just three of us kitted with shottys and suppressed rifles, mowin into a horde, lead flying and zeds dying, makes this game feel so *good*.
Reminds me of my first time clearing Rosewood. This came on, and my friend asked me as the song played RIZZY the music! It's going crazy! _Because I'm winning._
@@d0ggo564 Nah, standing and fighting is always a bad plan regardless of skull, there's always an option less likely to get you killed in more or less every scenario. Stupidity is a lack of skill. It is a sick track though.
With this theme suddenly popping up while you're in front of a horde. It makes you stop moving for a bit, not because of fear or hopelessness to fight them... But the determination to survive the inevitable and to stand your ground.
My brother and I barricaded a house outside Muldraugh, we were starting to build our base there, some walls were finished, and I was doing some inventory management while my brother was washing himself and his clothes. We heard some bangs outside, low version of this track started. My heart started pounding, while I was approaching the window. Opened the curtains and the only thing I saw was zeds all around. The medium version of the track started while I was running towards the house wall and jumping over it. Shit, at the other side, more zeds attracted by the running generator. Somehow I weren't bit at the moment I reached the floor. My brother was outside defending our base with a shotgun while I was looking for some planks to barricade the destroyed fence, at that moment the only thing I could hear was my heart pounding and this song's high version exploding in my speakers. A zed got me, but somehow the only thing he got was a chunk of leather from my jacket. We managed to barricade our base, and sat there thinking how they got through, while the song slowly faded out, leaving us with the grunts and screams from the zeds from outside. Man, this game...
You need to make walls as far as the generators sound can reach of which you then thicken that wall with wooden stuff outside whilst metal on the inside till eventually, only the helicopter event can mess you over.
Low: Is it really worth fighting anymore? You ponder the same question every night. It's just a cycle of endless survival that keeps putting more and more pressure on you. The supply gatherings, the horde evasions, all for what? To sit down and remeber what was lost every single day? To clean up a fresh wound, knowing deep down you want all of this to be over? You are tired, and have a bleach bottle at hand. You just can't take it anymore, unless... Medium: "Will it really end like this? Is this how I die?" You remember the words of the last pre-recorded message you got, before the signal went out. The realization kicks in. Have you really fought all this long to just die like this? Gone through hell and back to suicide? The end times have come, but there will always be something for you to achieve. You just were so centered in survival, that the stress clouded all of the things that made you feel good. Whether that be drinking a cold beer whilst watching a horror movie, or relaxing in the park eating some chocolate. Maybe, just maybe, there can also be more of you, more survivors. Your mind is clear. You throw the bleach away, take the shotgun you found trying to find help in the Louisville blockade, enough rounds for your back to hurt, and exit the doorway with a mission. You either clear up the town to try and save another survivors more trouble , even going far and wide to find and help people... Or you go out with the biggest bang whats left of humanity will ever witness. High: Shots are fired, blood is splattered all across the road. They keep coming, but the ammo you got is more than enough to keep them at bay. You have in brains what they have in numbers. Hundreds of them come at you, but you keep firing, and firing, and firing. Once the smoke of your gun fades away, you realize what you have done. A single human on the verge of breakdown, killing every zombie that heard the gunshots. Before sitting down to rest, you see something that definetely removes every inch of dread in your head. A signal flare, on a rooftop in a not so far building. You use your binoculars, and see 3 men cheering you on, waving their guns above their heads. You are stunned, and can only whisper a few words to yourself: " *Maybe...Maybe we can win this* "
imagine this, you're at the parking lot of a gun store yet the place has a horde of zombies, they don't notice you so you plan out a situation where you finally don't regret picking an emergency vehicle. You turn the siren on and run to a nearby building out of sight, the zeds have surrounded the car so you make a break towards the gun shop. They. See. You. Block the doors and pray they hold until you get enough guns and ammo to kill them off, you count more than 100 of them and the gun store has no way out but the front.
I just spent a considerable amount of time searching for "that song with a cool brass melody" and I'm so glad I found it. This game and it's soundtrack are truly one of the best things I know of and I'm very grateful for all the work put into it. Thank you so much to The Indie Stone, Zach Beever, and Armin Hass.
with this music, my car died from so many crashes, they were surrounding me and I was already exhausted, I missed an axe swing and three of them rush to me, no doubt I was expecting a bite from them The animation of my character was to put the ax horizontally, holding the three and pushing them, managing to live another day, crazy Louisville route that i ever have
Woah. My character took down a zombie with his fire axe. Then got ambushed by a second zombie but just stopped it using his right hand for a second, then pushed it away. My character had 9 strength btw, so I think that such a badass anymation has something to do with your stats
Bro u gave me a strong urge of reading in real life, because of imagining reading a epic story with this music, then i realised u was talking about zomboid
I love how it goes from a somber tone of how just small your chances are , but eventually it turns into a heroic choir reminds of metal gear for some reason
This played once while i was defending my base after a horde showed up seeminly out of nowhere. I had had a very tough day and it all felt so hopeless, but as soon as tjis song surged on the fight surged in me too. Legitimately shed tears at how powerful the game with the fat raccoon mascot and the isometric build can be
@@SuperflyGaminggot tired..and now u suggest blasting with a fckin shotgun??😂😂 U srs? That just completely put u in a grave since 100+ of them will now come to u U shoot first..and when on the last resort u go for melee...or just run away This completely change when u fought sprinter tho😂😂
low:i start shooting them because they're too many medium:i'm starting to get overwhelmed and my first gun runs out of bullets high:i remember i have no second gun, so i unholster my nightstick and prepare to beat 40 zombies to death
One day I went out to get supplies and was swarmed by zombies and trapped in a windowless warehouse. There was a fire axe on the shelf, and then this song played..
the arabic words in this OST is pretty much describing the game.👍 first time i see arabic words in a game used correctly. نبع الحياة = geyser of life ايه الثمن يازمن = what the price of life
That 3:27 part left a memory when I was playing project zomboid I remember driving a black step van in a farm road exiting west point. after I was done looting the thunderstorm starts and the sun begins to set. The music starts and it add epicness while swerving left and right to dodge zombies and crashed cars
"Many fall in the face of chaos; but not this one, not today." and "A moment of valor shines brightest against a backdrop of despair." both quotes from Darkest Dungeon, although from a completely different game, this song perfectly represents them
You're going 75 down the main street, pushing your piece of scrap vehicle to its limits, but you didn't notice because there are Zomboids at every avenue. Vroom, your truck's engine gives out, and now you're stuck at in intersection and surrounded by the whole lot of them... But you've got your trusty Remington and boxes of shells... Maybe we can win this...
This track nearly gets me killed every time lol. I just *need* to fight back. It's the musical equivalent of digging in your heels, gritting your teeth and going all in.
I was using nothing but a fence and my foot to stop a horde that screwed up my vehicle... when the high music kicked in, It felt like I was in a movie or something
This piece alone makes me want to increase zombie count in-game to insane numbers, just to feel the vibe. It perfectly captures the moment when hope is truly born. You put your fear aside and you fight for your life when this masterpiece plays. Armin Hass and Zach Beever are geniuses. Absolutely beautiful.
I remember this played and my friends said "We gotta go!" Me: "NO. WE STAND AND FIGHT. GO LOUD." we left the area with wounds but no infections and less ammo.. But one more horde falls to buckshot and rifle bullet.
My wife isnt big into gaming but she loves horror. She wanted to try playing this with me. The first time we heard this song was when we found a shotgun and devised a plan for me to round up a group and her to shoot them as I bring them to her. We truly fell in love with the game then
When I noticed this game had adaptive music Hold on, let my try to put those emotions into words: *HOLY FUCK THIS IS SO AWESOME I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, SO COOOL!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!!*
Had to deal with over 70 zombies in an attempt to refuel and once this blasted, I knew I was okay. I calmly assessed the situation and dealt with the horde tactfully, my vehicle reaped the reward of continuing on our journey with me.
Out of ammo, out of time, and out of our minds. Yet we still fight with the ever growing odds against us. We fight back so our families can live a little safer, so our children can live better lives, so the next generation can live on without fear of the dead that walks amongst men. This small resistance shall grow to an everlasting legacy. We'll go down in the history books as saviors of humanity. So put aside your fear, regrets, and your doubts cause we got a war that's even stranger than the last.
Me and my friend were playing and we decided to make a trip down to Louisville. It was my first time playing the game, so I really didn’t know what we were in for. My friend was demonstrating the radial menu for the car, and as an example rolled his window down. As we looted and such, we eventually paused to check the map. All of a sudden, my friend just screams “RUN!” over discord. A zombie managed to get him in the car, and since we had infection mortality on instant, he just immediately turned and began attacking me. Somehow, I took around 6 total hits from zombies and was still alive. This music began playing in the background… I knew, this wasn’t the end for me… I grabbed the shotgun out of my bag, which my friend had told me to save for emergencies, and began firing off rounds. I didn’t know how to reload, so I ended up just switching to a hand axe one I ran out. I managed to get back into our car and get halfway back to our base, when suddenly, car dies next to a huge group of walkers. Friend shows up and mows them down with a car he hot wired. Grabbed our shit and gtfo of there. I now have a little over 14 hours on this game already, and I have absolutely loved every second of it…

If the raw material is already great, in capable hands, it can only get better.
Reminds me of when I first fought the horde with about 90 shotgun shells and a J-2000 Shotgun. There was no other choice; the only other weapon I had was a hand axe and a baseball bat at about 50% durability. So I trained my aiming skill the hard way: Fighting through hundreds of them near a military surplus store while my friend looted it. Thank god I had beta blockers otherwise I would've been screwed. I also realize how brutally realistic the game was as well; you better count your ammo otherwise you might pull the trigger on a Zed but nothing comes out. When the smoke cleared there was so many bodies. I was almost at a disbelief that I had actually managed to kill that many.
Me n some friends boarded up an area and claimed some houses as our own, rolling in with a truck with just three of us kitted with shottys and suppressed rifles, mowin into a horde, lead flying and zeds dying, makes this game feel so *good*.
you mean you made it out alive? holy shit
Reminds me of my first time clearing Rosewood. This came on, and my friend asked me as the song played
RIZZY the music! It's going crazy!
_Because I'm winning._
This sound track always makes you want to stand and fight
Stand yer feckin ground soldier..!
@@d0ggo564 yes sir!
The thing that usually gets you killed, too. Hahahaha.
Depends if someone suffers from skill issue or not good sir
@@d0ggo564 Nah, standing and fighting is always a bad plan regardless of skull, there's always an option less likely to get you killed in more or less every scenario. Stupidity is a lack of skill.
It is a sick track though.
this song removes my flight response entirely.
SAME DUDE
High stage is so damn mind-blowing in all terms of intensity! Listening to this makes me feel shivers down my spine, what a sensation!
I'm literally listening to this, and tearing up how good this song is. Holy moly, my body doesn't know how to react, just tears lol
Listening to this is giving me the panic moodle in real life... I think I can hear my heartbeat...
With this theme suddenly popping up while you're in front of a horde. It makes you stop moving for a bit, not because of fear or hopelessness to fight them... But the determination to survive the inevitable and to stand your ground.

The most intense music I've eaten a can of beans to
My brother and I barricaded a house outside Muldraugh, we were starting to build our base there, some walls were finished, and I was doing some inventory management while my brother was washing himself and his clothes.
We heard some bangs outside, low version of this track started. My heart started pounding, while I was approaching the window. Opened the curtains and the only thing I saw was zeds all around.
The medium version of the track started while I was running towards the house wall and jumping over it. Shit, at the other side, more zeds attracted by the running generator. Somehow I weren't bit at the moment I reached the floor.
My brother was outside defending our base with a shotgun while I was looking for some planks to barricade the destroyed fence, at that moment the only thing I could hear was my heart pounding and this song's high version exploding in my speakers.
A zed got me, but somehow the only thing he got was a chunk of leather from my jacket. We managed to barricade our base, and sat there thinking how they got through, while the song slowly faded out, leaving us with the grunts and screams from the zeds from outside.
Man, this game...
You need to make walls as far as the generators sound can reach of which you then thicken that wall with wooden stuff outside whilst metal on the inside till eventually, only the helicopter event can mess you over.
Low: Is it really worth fighting anymore? You ponder the same question every night. It's just a cycle of endless survival that keeps putting more and more pressure on you. The supply gatherings, the horde evasions, all for what? To sit down and remeber what was lost every single day? To clean up a fresh wound, knowing deep down you want all of this to be over? You are tired, and have a bleach bottle at hand. You just can't take it anymore, unless...
Medium: "Will it really end like this? Is this how I die?" You remember the words of the last pre-recorded message you got, before the signal went out. The realization kicks in. Have you really fought all this long to just die like this? Gone through hell and back to suicide? The end times have come, but there will always be something for you to achieve. You just were so centered in survival, that the stress clouded all of the things that made you feel good. Whether that be drinking a cold beer whilst watching a horror movie, or relaxing in the park eating some chocolate. Maybe, just maybe, there can also be more of you, more survivors.
Your mind is clear. You throw the bleach away, take the shotgun you found trying to find help in the Louisville blockade, enough rounds for your back to hurt, and exit the doorway with a mission. You either clear up the town to try and save another survivors more trouble , even going far and wide to find and help people... Or you go out with the biggest bang whats left of humanity will ever witness.
High: Shots are fired, blood is splattered all across the road. They keep coming, but the ammo you got is more than enough to keep them at bay. You have in brains what they have in numbers. Hundreds of them come at you, but you keep firing, and firing, and firing. Once the smoke of your gun fades away, you realize what you have done. A single human on the verge of breakdown, killing every zombie that heard the gunshots. Before sitting down to rest, you see something that definetely removes every inch of dread in your head. A signal flare, on a rooftop in a not so far building. You use your binoculars, and see 3 men cheering you on, waving their guns above their heads. You are stunned, and can only whisper a few words to yourself:
" *Maybe...Maybe we can win this* "
Now THIS is top tier literature 🚬
@@elpatosad5757 agreed.
Oh, I've just rad this slowly and imaginatively and I got a movie right in front of me xD. Very nice writing mate!
Bro is an god damn poet
i'm literally having shivers just by reading this, i can clearly see the desperation 👏👏
Correction: this is not a "Maybe We Can Win This". But a 'Will' as in
We *WILL* win this.
We *WILL* get through this.
imagine this, you're at the parking lot of a gun store yet the place has a horde of zombies, they don't notice you so you plan out a situation where you finally don't regret picking an emergency vehicle. You turn the siren on and run to a nearby building out of sight, the zeds have surrounded the car so you make a break towards the gun shop. They. See. You. Block the doors and pray they hold until you get enough guns and ammo to kill them off, you count more than 100 of them and the gun store has no way out but the front.
I got bit just reading this
who ever found a way to make a fucking banjo give me goosebumbs, you deserve all the emmies.
1:37 legit feeling like you are preparing for your last stand
Yes it does, either you die on your feet- or live on your knees
Loading guns, sharpening blades, wrapping a scarf round your neck for protection...
The horns as it kicks into the high mode are so good, they really make you feel like you can actually win whatever is thrown at you.
*My friend in the Louisville hospital fires gun* zombies from inside and outside attack
The soundtrack that plays when the zombies encounter you (they will perish)
One day, I hope there is PZ Con with live performances.
100% would love to see this live
This song goes very hard. Love from Kentucky. I hate zombies so much it's unreal
I'm sorry your country was hit fam, good like killing them zeds

I just spent a considerable amount of time searching for "that song with a cool brass melody" and I'm so glad I found it.

Low: THESE ARE THE END TIMES
Medium: THERE WAS NO HOPE FOR SURVIVAL
High: *THIS IS HOW YOU DIED*
No no, high should be more like "THIS IS HOW THEY DIED"
with this music, my car died from so many crashes, they were surrounding me and I was already exhausted, I missed an axe swing and three of them rush to me, no doubt I was expecting a bite from them
The animation of my character was to put the ax horizontally, holding the three and pushing them, managing to live another day, crazy Louisville route that i ever have
Gigachad character.
Woah. My character took down a zombie with his fire axe. Then got ambushed by a second zombie but just stopped it using his right hand for a second, then pushed it away. My character had 9 strength btw, so I think that such a badass anymation has something to do with your stats
average veteran chad pulling his shit
"High" brings back memories of being chased by dozens of sprinters through Raven Creek back alleys. Good times.
This the type of music that sounds while reading a book lmao
Bro u gave me a strong urge of reading in real life, because of imagining reading a epic story with this music, then i realised u was talking about zomboid

Literally me yesterday
Everytime I hear the low start playing I just yell 100 times to keep the music going
I thought I was the only one attracting zombies on purpose when this song plays 💀💀💀💀💀
*your character losing their vocal chords*
if this song doesn't fill you with hope nothing will
The Definitive Zombie Survival Song
how epic do You want the music to be?
Zach Beever: Yes!
I love how it goes from a somber tone of how just small your chances are , but eventually it turns into a heroic choir reminds of metal gear for some reason
It always makes me say "I'M ALREADY SICK OF RUNNING FROM YOU I'M GOING TO KILL YOU HERE NOW UNTIL I DIE"
This really adds a really dramatic mood even if it's only a handful of zombies which in my opinion is just amazing
when you've got nothing left to lose and this absolute banger comes on
You know, this has almost a hopeful tone to it in comparison to the rest of the soundtrack. It's got a very "You want it? Come get it." Vibe.
MAYBE We Can Win This. 0:01
Maybe We CAN Win This. 1:37
Maybe We Can WIN This. 3:13
This played once while i was defending my base after a horde showed up seeminly out of nowhere. I had had a very tough day and it all felt so hopeless, but as soon as tjis song surged on the fight surged in me too. Legitimately shed tears at how powerful the game with the fat raccoon mascot and the isometric build can be
Fat racoon mascot LOLOL
It's Spiffo
3:10 - When your 1 year+ character is surrounded and outnumbered... YOU CAN DO THIS!!! 💪
no.
*insert endurance drop*
@@minus3505run, hide and sit down for a minute 😂 or start blasting with your shotgun
pretty hard not to be outnumbered when there's one of you and god knows how many of them
Play smart, hide from them! Distract them, lure them elsewhere then take them down. Or not 😂
@@SuperflyGaminggot tired..and now u suggest blasting with a fckin shotgun??😂😂 U srs? That just completely put u in a grave since 100+ of them will now come to u
U shoot first..and when on the last resort u go for melee...or just run away
This completely change when u fought sprinter tho😂😂
low:i start shooting them because they're too many
medium:i'm starting to get overwhelmed and my first gun runs out of bullets
high:i remember i have no second gun, so i unholster my nightstick and prepare to beat 40 zombies to death
One day I went out to get supplies and was swarmed by zombies and trapped in a windowless warehouse. There was a fire axe on the shelf, and then this song played..
the arabic words in this OST is pretty much describing the game.👍 first time i see arabic words in a game used correctly.
نبع الحياة = geyser of life
ايه الثمن يازمن = what the price of life
The track you hear killing hundreads of zombies just to die to a single one the next day
This is one of those music when you feel like you're just defending your 2 story house to a endless horde with your last breath and making out alive
That 3:27 part left a memory when I was playing project zomboid I remember driving a black step van in a farm road exiting west point. after I was done looting the thunderstorm starts and the sun begins to set. The music starts and it add epicness while swerving left and right to dodge zombies and crashed cars

I didn't know they could make this game sound any better, but here we are.
My favorite soundtrack in project zomboid
Low: sneaking with a bread knife
Medium: taking on Muldraugh with a fire axe
High: taking on Louisville with an M16
The transitions in this song are just so fucking good, I love the banjo kicking in in medium and that overdrive guitar strumming in the background
"Many fall in the face of chaos; but not this one, not today." and "A moment of valor shines brightest against a backdrop of despair." both quotes from Darkest Dungeon, although from a completely different game, this song perfectly represents them
The match is struck! A blazing star is born.
"Anger is Power, UNLEASH IT!"
I think the title of this song is genius, because it’s the famous and most common last words before players die
It's incredible! This composition has become much better.
This game needs more attention. It's just too good.
I think this game reached a huge attention after the b41 so yeah
@@IkanDuitMan thats when i found it, and around the same time coincidentally a lot of ppl on my friends list wishlisted/bought it
You're going 75 down the main street, pushing your piece of scrap vehicle to its limits, but you didn't notice because there are Zomboids at every avenue. Vroom, your truck's engine gives out, and now you're stuck at in intersection and surrounded by the whole lot of them... But you've got your trusty Remington and boxes of shells... Maybe we can win this...
This track nearly gets me killed every time lol. I just *need* to fight back. It's the musical equivalent of digging in your heels, gritting your teeth and going all in.
Escape from Louisville official soundtrack
escaping from louisville 🤑🤑🗣️ (impossible)
I was using nothing but a fence and my foot to stop a horde that screwed up my vehicle... when the high music kicked in, It felt like I was in a movie or something
This piece alone makes me want to increase zombie count in-game to insane numbers, just to feel the vibe.
It perfectly captures the moment when hope is truly born. You put your fear aside and you fight for your life when this masterpiece plays.
Armin Hass and Zach Beever are geniuses. Absolutely beautiful.
I remember this played and my friends said "We gotta go!"
Me: "NO. WE STAND AND FIGHT. GO LOUD."
we left the area with wounds but no infections and less ammo..
But one more horde falls to buckshot and rifle bullet.
"-nah... I can't survive..."
"Maybe We Can Win This activates"
"-HELL NAH"
My wife isnt big into gaming but she loves horror. She wanted to try playing this with me. The first time we heard this song was when we found a shotgun and devised a plan for me to round up a group and her to shoot them as I bring them to her. We truly fell in love with the game then
This is war, survival is your responsibility.
Weak : Maybe we can win this
Medium : We can win this
High : *WE WIN*
I REALLY love the low version.
This soundtrack fills people's hope in project zomboid
I wish Zomboid had a movie just so I can lose my shit when this piece drops at the climax.
This track makes you feel invincible and sometimes it actually does
I will die, but I will always keep coming back
When I noticed this game had adaptive music
Hold on, let my try to put those emotions into words:
*HOLY FUCK THIS IS SO AWESOME I LOVE THIS SO MUCH, SO COOOL!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!!!*
Had to deal with over 70 zombies in an attempt to refuel and once this blasted, I knew I was okay. I calmly assessed the situation and dealt with the horde tactfully, my vehicle reaped the reward of continuing on our journey with me.
I like to consider every trip away from home as an episode of a zombie survival show. Rarely filler, always eventful.
when you hear this music, you dont think about that game you think about something else, its just amazing what they did, and it slaps
high intensity gives me massive RDR2 vibes and I love it
Out of ammo, out of time, and out of our minds. Yet we still fight with the ever growing odds against us. We fight back so our families can live a little safer, so our children can live better lives, so the next generation can live on without fear of the dead that walks amongst men. This small resistance shall grow to an everlasting legacy. We'll go down in the history books as saviors of humanity. So put aside your fear, regrets, and your doubts cause we got a war that's even stranger than the last.
@@clowner1 Yeah cause why not it's a good ost
@@uniEditor cant not agree with that
@@clowner1 May I ask why?

When this hits you suddenly have the urge to jump out of the car and unload your last mags of 5.56 at the horde
Everyone talks about 3:10 but for fucks sake the 1:35 transition gives me the chills
yeah, 1:35 simply gives the best startup
Facts
it feels like it says ''Get ready there will be a blood bath its either yours or theirs''
Me and my friend were playing and we decided to make a trip down to Louisville. It was my first time playing the game, so I really didn’t know what we were in for.
My friend was demonstrating the radial menu for the car, and as an example rolled his window down. As we looted and such, we eventually paused to check the map.
All of a sudden, my friend just screams “RUN!” over discord. A zombie managed to get him in the car, and since we had infection mortality on instant, he just immediately turned and began attacking me.
Somehow, I took around 6 total hits from zombies and was still alive. This music began playing in the background… I knew, this wasn’t the end for me…
I grabbed the shotgun out of my bag, which my friend had told me to save for emergencies, and began firing off rounds. I didn’t know how to reload, so I ended up just switching to a hand axe one I ran out.
I managed to get back into our car and get halfway back to our base, when suddenly, car dies next to a huge group of walkers. Friend shows up and mows them down with a car he hot wired. Grabbed our shit and gtfo of there.
I now have a little over 14 hours on this game already, and I have absolutely loved every second of it…
Press r to reload by the way, you need ammo in your inventory to reload, and it has to NOT be in a box.
When you get bit once and the masculine urge to kill every zed sinks into you.
